1 Improving Patient Care Through Evidence Based Performance Measures
2 EMS Compass is: An open, collaborative two-year effort, funded by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) led by the National Association of State EMS Officials (NASEMSO) Define and develop a sustainable process to design EMS performance measures primarily using National Emergency Medical Services Information System (NEMSIS) version 3 data Develop a core set (5-7) of evidence based patient care and safety related performance measures for use by all EMS providers to support a culture of performance improvement in EMS
3 EMS Compass is not: Developing measures in order to punish poor performers or discredit them in their communities Submitting measures to the NQF or CMS Proposing that measures be used for anything other than improvement of patient care and safety Developing a comprehensive list of measures to address every aspect of EMS Directing how local, state or federal agencies or payers may choose to utilize the measures once they become available
4 Measure Design Process: A Continuous Cycle

8 The Future of Emergency Care: Emergency Medical Services at the Crossroads (Institute of Medicine report released in 2007) NHTSA, in partnership with professional organizations, should convene a panel of individuals with multidisciplinary expertise to develop evidence-based model prehospital care protocols for the treatment, triage, and transport of patients.
9 Assembly of expert panel and GRADE training Define the EBG content area and establish specific clinical questions to be addressed Literature searches and prioritization of outcomes Creation of evidence profiles (GRADE tables) and summarize work and draft recommendations Vet and endorse GRADE evidence tables and draft recommendations Synthesis of collective wisdom into an EMS protocol and visual algorithm
10 Published in Prehospital Emergency Care in January 2014 Development of Evidence-Based Guidelines Using a GRADE-based Methodology Pediatric Prehospital Seizure Management Using GRADE Methodology Prehospital Analgesia in Trauma Air Medical Transportation of Prehospital Trauma Patients Implementation and Evaluation of an Evidence-Based Statewide Prehospital Pain Management Protocol
11 Enhance patient care with current, evidence-based practices Provide a useful composite of expert-panel based guidelines with EB considerations as placeholders for future EBGs Promote uniformity in prehospital care which, in turn, promotes skilled practice as EMS providers move across healthcare systems Provide ready-to-adopt guidelines for EMS systems
12 NASEMSO Medical Directors Council (seven members, one alternate) Seven EMS medical director stakeholder organizations: AAEM, AAP, ACEP, ACOEP, ACS-COT, AMPA, NAEMSP Subject matter experts and consultations as deemed necessary by the workgroup membership Three EMS physician technical reviewers

16 Dynamic evolution of the National Model EMS Clinical Guidelines to maintain currency Track utilization or adoption of the document by the EMS community Development of additional core patient care guidelines Improve linkage with NEMSIS Improvement of interoperability between EMS and healthcare systems Encourage quality EMS research

24 Clinical Advisory Groups Not without Issues. Organisational Culture Resourcing Professional/Personal Bias Community Expectations Inconsistently, Inconsistent
25 The Future Increasing Paramedic lead research focused on pre hospital care Extended roles for paramedics Post graduate education Continued over populated undergraduate degree programs
